Your item will also be insured against loss, theft and damage for up to EUR 50.
Registered mail
The sender of a registered PRIO item receives a certificate of posting and the delivery of the item will be documented. Thanks to the registration number, you can follow your item's journey at all times. The latest status is available in our "item tracking" service.

Valuables (e.g., money, securities, precious metals) may only be sent as items with insured value.
